My piano teacher from my high school days would probably be shocked to know that I used to think she only listened to classical music.

I remember well the day that she casually mentioned liking some popular rock group during a lesson.  I think my jaw dropped to the floor.  I didn’t think classical piano teachers were ALLOWED to listen to anything but classical music.

Now, as a piano teacher, I wonder if any of my students hold the same view towards me.  I wonder if they would be surprised to hear my pre-set rock radio stations in my car or take a peek in my many CD boxes filled with rock music from today (and from my high school days) that they probably adore.

Would your students be suprised at some of your listening choices?
